Bluetooth Audio
In the Security & Drivers section of the app, Tesla has now added a 'Set Up Bluetooth Audio' option. Tapping on this option will open Bluetooth settings menu inside the vehicle.
Charge on Solar Availability
Tesla's Charge on Solar feature is now available in additional countries, including many parts of Europe.
Tesla's innovative Charge on Solar feature allows Tesla owners to charge their cars using surplus solar energy generated by their home's solar panels. Users are given two vehicle charge limits, one for the minimum charge limit, which will allow the vehicle to charge using whichever energy is available, and an additonal, higher limit, which the vehicle will only charge to using clean, solar energy.
Communication Options
Tesla has renamed 'News and Events' to Communication Preferences. Instead of being a simple toggle to receive Tesla-related news, Tesla now sends you to your Tesla account on the web that lets you opt-in to receiving news through app notifications and over email. It also lets you opt-in to receiving investor-related news.
Non-Tesla Charging Membership
The non-Tesla charging membership is now under a new category named 'For Your Other EV,' and the name has been changed to simply 'Membership.'
Tesla's Supercharging Membership lets you charge non-Teslas at select Superchargers at the same rate as a Tesla vehicle. The membership costs $12.99 in the US.
Chat Assistant
Under the support section of the app (question mark icon in the new menu), Tesla has added a virtual assistant that lets you receive answers to common questions.
This feature was previously enabled over a server-side configuration change that was released after the last app update.
New Menu
Tesla has introduced a new menu that reorgnizes its various account and product preferences in a more logical manner. The menu replaces the user's avatar at the top right corner of the screen.
Tesla has also introduced a new menu next to your vehicle or home's name that lets you switch to each product instead of swiping to the side.
